Scope and Content: In 1825, 1883, and 1885, the General Court authorized the governor of Massachusetts to appoint commissioners who would work with commissioners from New Hampshire to resolve boundary disputes. The 1825 commission was unable to work out a line acceptable to both states and a boundary marked in 1741 remained in effect. The commissioners appointed in 1885 reached agreement on the eastern portion of the boundary in 1888 and on the western portion in 1894. These files were created by the various commissioners and compiled by the state secretary to assist in the resolution of the boundary line dispute.
